When the gate is closing and the pedestrian safety input IN4 detects a person the 
barrier returns to the fully up position. After IN4 is cleared, the gate will remain in the 
open position for an additional 5 sec. until the gate closes (Note: It will only close if 
the closing contact on IN3 is still made). The pedestrian safety input on IN4 must be 
disabled in the down position with a limit switch (optional, not included in standard 
package). 
 
  
When the gate is closing and the vehicle safety input IN5 receives an input the 
barrier returns to the fully open position. As soon as the safety zone is cleared, the 
barrier closes immediately, as long as the closing contact on IN3 is made. When the 
barrier is closing and has already passed the switch point of the down limit switch, 
the safety feature is disabled and the gate will continue to close regardless if the 
safety device detects an object. Ex factory, the limit switch is adjusted to disable the 
safety/closing device on IN5 15º before it reaches the fully closed position. 

 
 
 

4.6.3 Operating  Mode  3 

Pulse control using one input (IN1), Static

 

Each input (pulse) on IN1 results in a change of direction (up/down). When the 
controller is setup for signal reset (see 

chapter 4.5

 DIP switch setting 1-2) the 

controller can be reset with a momentary input on IN3 or a vehicle passing the 
safety closing device connected on IN5. 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Every pulse signal (min. 200ms in length) on input IN1 will change the direction of 
the barrier. For example: First pulse IN1 opens barrier, Second pulse IN1 closes 
barrier, and third pulse IN1 opens barrier ….etc.  
The barrier closes after a controller reset. For the different options on how to reset 
the controller, please see 

chapter 4.5

 DIPswitch 1-2.  

In operating mode 3, the only function of IN3 is to reset the controller at start up. 
During normal operation in mode 3 IN3 has no function. 

 

When the gate is closing and the pedestrian safety input IN4 detects a person the 
barrier returns to the fully up position. After IN4 is cleared, the gate will remain in the 

1 2 3 4 5 6 24VDC

INPUT

 

IN1 = open/close barrier 
IN2 = not used 
IN3 = Signal reset 
IN4 = Pedestrian safety input 
IN5 = Vehicle safety device 
IN6 = Down limit switch 
disabling of vehicle safety 
device (IN5) when gate is in 
down position.   
 
All inputs require a potential 
free (dry) contact.
